Be Happy with All Your Pecklach

Bitachon Weekly | June 27, 2025

Many people complain that they aren’t getting the nachas or Torah or relationships or Mussar or Zikkui HaRabbim or health or strength or other desires. And they spend a lifetime of “quiet desperation”; i.e., always something wrong & desperately needed.

Sedom was a place where everyone had everything, a happy perfect life; and look what kind of people it produced – the worst and lowest Reshaim! (This is a place called כְּ גַ ן ה' the garden of Hashem)! And look how Avraham and Sara were always missing their lifetime desire – having children – and look how wonderful they became!

And look how Klal Yisroel was built on Leah Imeinu’s tears and painful desires, and Rochel only succeeded when she also became a person of great need. Never complain that things should be better! Be happy with all your pecklach; it makes you a mensch, and not a Sedomi, Chas V’shalom! Or a M'sudardik German, who “has it all figured out!”
